Festivities are just around the corner and you will be flooded with invitations every second day. And we are sure that you won't be heading to the mall every evening to shop for every party unless you are a millionaire. Yet, you will have sleepless nights wondering about how to tide over this party season in style. Here is some dope on the party essentials that you must have in your wardrobe.

Black dress
By a black dress, we don't necessarily mean a little black cocktail dress that you can only wear to high profile evenings. Of course, do buy one if you have the figure to carry it off. Invest in a decent mid-length black skirt with a bit of shimmer that you can safely sport to any party. Team it up with a nice sleeveless black/white turtleneck top or a sequined tee. You can don a satin waistcoat or jacket for added effect

Stilettos
Nothing makes a bigger style and power statement than a pair of sexy stilettos. Opt for a pair of black ones if you want to wear it to every other event or else buy one in a metallic shade. However, if you are uncomfortable with stilettos, choose a pair of chic flats or strappy sandals. They look great with dresses, skirts, leggings, etc

Clutch
Everyone in tinsel town is sporting it the clutch is the purse of the season. For parties, you can sport clutch purses in shiny black, silver, gold or copper with embellishments. If you want a touch of Indian-ness, opt for leather clutch purses with Indian motifs done on them. They look great with both Indian and western outfits and have enough space to store your essentials like your cell, lipstick, etc

Danglers
Add a bit of drama to your ensemble with a pair of pretty danglers. Right from copper to wooden danglers with African prints or the gleaming ones with Swarovski crystals, a pair of eye-catching danglers can make a world of difference. You will find different varieties across stores as well as roadside markets. Ones with studded stones are a  huge hit as you can match them with different outfits and are affordable too

Cocktail sari
Well, all of us don't have the figure to carry off western party wear. After all, it's not an easy task to cover all bodily imperfections and still look hot. A cocktail sari can definitely come to your rescue. Drape it innovatively, team up with sexy blouses and add on some accessories to make heads turn

What men must have
A waistcoat: A waistcoat looks great over formal shirts and trousers as well as denims and tees.  You can accessorise with a nice printed cravat or a jazzy belt if you wearing it over jeans. 
White blazer: It takes a bit of flair to carry off a white blazer but it definitely makes you stand out in a party. You can wear it with tees, both in dark as well as pastel colours and denims. Accessorise with a chain and a pair of loafers.
Black silk shirt: A expensive black silk shirt can be safely sported to different types of parties. You can jazz up with nice waistcoats, shiny belts, printed cravats, etc.
Printed tie/cravat: Liven up your boring formals with a nice printed tie or cravat. Always go for original prints if you want to make an impression or stick to small motifs if you're unsure about your combination.
